I'm a parent in such a relationship. The reason people take "vows" (the strongest sort of promise you can make) in marriage is so that they stay together and take care of their children. My wife and I are not divorced, we are both involved parents, and remain friends, but we have not had an intimate relationship in about 15 years. Yes I have had my doubts about whether this was the best example to provide to my children but it seems better than any alternative, given the circumstances. In any event, the children are all grown now, so it is what it is.
